- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- For the Dip
- 1 cup mayonnaise

2. In a large mixing bowl combine the baking mix, ground sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and black pepper.
3. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a sturdy spoon until the ingredients are fully combined and form a thick dough.
4. Roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 18–20 minutes, turning the sausage balls halfway through baking so they brown evenly.

Notes
These sausage balls make a great appetizer for parties, holidays, and game days.
Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best texture and flavor.
If the mixture feels dry, add a tablespoon of milk to help bind it.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
